Synopsis:

Follow the absurd antics of an Indiana town's public officials as they pursue a laundry list of projects to make their city a better place.

Intentions:

Parks and Recreation has been one of my favorite TV shows for a little while now. One day, I looked online and realized the massive amount of hilarious deleted material, and I knew I had to get to work. This edit includes Seasons 1-3 of PandR, adding over 2 hours of new footage, re-integrated with color-grading and audio adjustments to make the whole thing as seamless as possible. Not every deleted or alternate scene is added; any unfunny or out-of-character scenes were not included. P.S. This edit took a nearly nine months to make, so… insert baby joke here. The base of this edit and the deleted scenes were taken from the Complete Series DVD box set, with the (very) occasional web-exclusive scene added in. For HD lovers, sorry, there will be no HD version made available. Watch for updates, I won't be stopping at 3 seasons!

Change List:

An exhaustive change list would be nearly impossible to make, and absolutely excruciating to read, so runtime comparisons are listed instead.

Additional Notes:

If you spot a noticeable error, please contact me (preferably with an episode number and timestamp), and I’ll try to fix it. I worked long and hard to make this edit smooth, but keep in mind, this is nearly 20 hours of footage, so I’m bound to have missed a thing or two.

Special Thanks:

A huge thank you to u/SandwichEnemy1 on Reddit for providing me with the Blu-ray version of Season 1's deleted scenes; the DVD versions were nearly unusable.
